Abstract

See full text

In an image processing apparatus which performs an error diffusion process to multivalued image data consisting of plural density components and outputs a result of the error diffusion process, the process result from a first error diffusion unit performing the error diffusion process based on a density value of a first density component included in the plural density components or the process result from a second error diffusion unit performing the error diffusion process based on the density value of the first density component and a density value of at least one density component included in other density components is selected according to a predetermined condition. Thus, even in an image process is performed to a larger number of gradations, a high-speed process can be achieved with simple structure, and the error diffusion process can be effectively performed to a shift of dot apply positions.
